Add git-multimail, a tool for generating notification emails for
pushes to a Git repository. It is largely plug-in compatible with
post-receive-email, and is proposed to eventually replace that script.
The advantages of git-multimail relative to post-receive-email are
described in README.migrate-from-post-receive-email.
git-multimail is organized in a directory contrib/hooks/multimail.
The directory contains:
* git_multimail.py -- a Python module that can generate notification
emails for pushes to a Git repository. The file can be used
directly as a post-receive script (configured via git config
settings), or it can be imported as a Python module and configured
via arbitrary Python code.
* README -- user-level documentation for configuring and using
git-multimail.
* post-receive -- an example of building a post-receive script that
imports git_multimail.py as a Python module, with an example of how
to change the email templates.
* README.migrate-from-post-receive-email -- documentation targeted at
current users of post-receive-email, explaining the differences and
how to migrate a post-receive-email configuration to git-multimail.
* migrate-mailhook-config -- a script that can migrate a user's
post-receive-email configuration options to the equivalent
git-multimail options.
* README.Git -- a short explanation of the relationship between
git-multimail and the rest of the Git project, plus the exact date
and revision when this version was taken from the upstream project.
All but the last file are taken verbatim from the upstream
git-multimail project.
git-multimail is originally derived from post-receive-email and also
incorporates suggestions from the mailing list as well as patches by
the people listed below.

Changes the logic in the script to determine whether an email message
will be sent before invoking the send_mail() function; otherwise, if
the logic determines that a message will not be sent, send_mail() will
cause an empty email to be sent. In addition, ensures that if multiple
refs are updated and a message cannot be sent for one of them,
the others are still processed normally.

We have become used to the features of svnmailer when used with Subversion,
and one of those useful features is that it can limit the maximum length
(in lines) of a commit email message. This is terribly useful since once the
goes beyond a reasonable number of lines, nobody is going to read the remainder,
and if they really want the entire contents of the commits, they can use
git itself to get them using the revision IDs present in the message already.
Change the post-receive-email script to respond to an 'emailmaxlines' config key
which, if specified, will limit the number of lines generated (including
headers); any lines beyond the limit are suppressed, and a final line is added
indicating the number that were suppressed.

According to the default hooks/post-receive file, the hook is called
with three arguments on stdin:
<oldrev> <newrev> <refname>
In command-line mode, the arguments come in a different order, because
the email hook instead calls:
generate_email $2 $3 $1

The quoting was tricky enough that it's worth documenting. To add
two blank lines (i.e. put \n\n in the printf), you would need to
say \\\\n\\\\n, and in the end, the pair of "echo" statements seemed
better. This is used in glibc.git repository:

In the show_new_revisions function, the original code:
git rev-parse --not --branches | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname) |
isn't quite right since one can create a new branch and push it
without any new commits. In that case, two refs will have the same
sha1 but both would get filtered by the 'grep'. In the end, we'll
show ALL the history which is not what we want. Instead, we should
list the branches by name and remove the branch being updated and THEN
pass that list through rev-parse.
Revised as suggested by Jakub Narebski and Junio C Hamano to use
git-for-each-ref instead of git-branch. (Thanks!)

Listing all files in a branch during branch creation is silly;
the user's file-level ACLs probably don't mean anything at this
point. We now treat the base case of 0{40} as an empty diff,
as this happens only when the user is creating the branch and
there are file level ACLs that diff against the old value of
the branch.

Usage info is emebed in the script, but the gist of it is to run the script
from a pre-commit hook to save permissions/ownership data to a file and check
that file into the repository. Then, a post_merge hook reads the file and
updates working tree permissions/ownership. All updates are transparent to
the user (although there is a --verbose option). Merge conflicts are handled
in the "read" phase (in pre-commit), and the script aborts the commit and
tells you how to fix things in the case of a merge conflict in the metadata
file. This same idea could be extended to handle file ACLs or other file
metadata if desired.

We have to load a tree difference for the purpose of testing
file patterns. But if our branch is being created and there is no
specific base to difference against in the rule our base will be
'0'x40. This is (usually) not a valid tree-ish object in a Git
repository, so there's nothing to difference against.
Instead of creating the empty tree and running git-diff against
that we just take the output of `ls-tree -r --name-only` and mark
every returned pathname as an add.

In some applications of the update hook a user may be allowed to
modify a branch, but only if the file level difference is also an
allowed change. This is the commonly requested feature of allowing
users to modify only certain files.
A new repository.*.allow syntax permits granting the three basic
file level operations:
A: file is added relative to the other tree
M: file exists in both trees, but its SHA-1 or mode differs
D: file is removed relative to the other tree
on a per-branch and path-name basis. The user must also have a
branch level allow line already granting them access to create,
rewind or update (CRU) that branch before the hook will consult
any file level rules.
In order for a branch change to succeed _all_ files that differ
relative to some base (by default the old value of this branch,
but it can also be any valid tree-ish) must be allowed by file
level allow rules. A push is rejected if any diff exists that
is not covered by at least one allow rule.

In some applications of this paranoid update hook the set of ACL
rules that need to be applied to a user can be large, and the
number of users that those rules must also be applied to can be
more than a handful of individuals. Rather than repeating the same
rules multiple times (once for each user) we now allow users to be
members of groups, where the group supplies the list of ACL rules.
For various reasons we don't depend on the underlying OS groups
and instead perform our own group handling.
Users can be made a member of one or more groups by setting the
user.memberOf property within the "users/$who.acl" file:
[user]
memberOf = developer
memberOf = administrator
This will cause the hook to also parse the "groups/$groupname.acl"
file for each value of user.memberOf, and merge any allow rules
that match the current repository with the user's own private rules
(if they had any).
Since some rules are basically the same but may have a component
differ based on the individual user, any user.* key may be inserted
into a rule using the "${user.foo}" syntax. The allow rule does
not match if the user does not define one (and exactly one) value
for the key "foo".
